Dallas, that leaves me with what stations to buy gas at? Im still pissed off at BP. I suppose 76 and Chevron. Not that they care whether I buy their gas. It's not so much a matter of boycot, I just don't want to give money to such assholes.

Dallas, that's an interesting idea. I went through a stage like that in my 20s. Evangelical ministers can be very passionate, but really messed up mentally. My experience, anyway. Plus, they have a habit of getting caught in sex crimes (see Atheist News on that). But hey, it's worth a try.

@TFA - thanks for posting that! It's a move in the right direction. Somehow, I think Thailand is ahead of a lot of countries in transgender issues. I read that the country is a center for transgender reassignment surgery. here.here. Probably not perfect, but better than some other countries. From that second link, At present both M-F and F-M transsexuals can live openly in Thai society. They are relatively safe and are not subjected to violence. Nowadays, young people in schools and university students openly show their gender dysphoric tendencies. As their parents seem to accept it, these young people are not subjected to seek help from psychologists or psychiatrists. Moreover, transsexuals receive regular coverage from the mass media such as in television news, programs and the press. They are celebrities in various professions like entertainers, film stars, models, make-up artists and transsexual cabaret show girls. Among these are a well known singer, a boxer, Thailand's volleyball champion, and the winner of the World's Transsexual Beauty Contest.
